    WTB Hella 169 front trim piece(s)

    I have a set of Hella 169's. One of the front trim pieces is cracked. Does anyone out there have a pair of trim pieces.... or even one in good shape?

    better luck

    You will have better luck welding it and re-chroming after a smooth polish.

    Bill,
    I am still looking for the trim piece or better yet, a pair of trim pieces in nice shape. Let me know what you can find in your storage stash.

    Here's what I have:
    2 Hella bodies
    2 hooded front pieces
    2 mounting brackets
    4 screws
    The front trim pieces both have some blistering on them - on both it's on the lower right side when facing the light. One is better than the other, but neither are going to win you any show points. From what I see, it looks like the bodies are stamped/plated brass, while the front pieces are zinc/pot metal pieces which is why they seem to corrode in the same places.
    The bodies are both in pretty good shape - no dents, and the chrome plating is only surface-worn on the very bottom from road use, with some nickel plating showing through.
    Two of the lens mounting screws are original and are in excellent condition, while the other 2 are not original.
    Also included are 2 lenses, both amber but only one is a true 169 fog lens (nick on the inside), the other is "721" lens; both Hella; made in Germany & both have good rubber seals.
    Bottom line: $36 for everything including shipping to Washington.
